The U.S. Navy has awarded Advanced Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) a contract to provide chase flight activities for the Lockheed Martin-led F-35 program. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity deal runs for five years, and will involve ATAC providing three of its Dassault Mirage F1 jets. They will be based at Naval Air Station/Joint Reserve Base Forth Worth in Texas, which is also the site of the F-35 final assembly line.
